While I don't have pictures, Lewis McCannon was the son of James and Prudence Davis McCannon. James was born in PA in 1809 and died in Greenwood in 1883. His wife was the daughter of Lemuel and Margaret (Elliot) Davis and she was born in Muddy Creek Township, Butler County, PA in 1813. She died in Greenwood in 1899. Their children included John McCannon born 1830 who later went on to become fairly famous in Leadville, Colorado; Mary Jane (who married James T. Harwell.
